#3  The UN won't do anything - and the media will ignore it. I mean its not like they are being forced to wear women's panties on their heads or anything. They are 'just' being murdered, gang raped, and driven from their homes.

Besides, its being done by Muslims so it must be Ok. Religion of Peace you know....

Personally I think the media is waiting until later in the year when they can say 'Why didn't Bush do something?'.

#2  And "strong" or "stern" wording?

Lol - methinks you're dead right! I read the piece - looked back at the title - and broke out laughing. So (Almost) was added to lend at least a modicum of truth. Too sad. Mebbe the UN should print up a form letter saying something like,
"We're sorry, but all US troops are busy at this time. Due to this inconvenient situation, the UN is toothless. Thank you for thinking of the UN, your one-stop center for bribery, scandal, and 5-star Hotels. The Michelin guide relies upon us - you should too. Please call again."

#1  Mr Annan has hinted at the possibility of military intervention although it is not seen as likely. It is not clear what the next step is likely to be at the UN.

.com, my bet is that whatever "action" the UN takes will have a letterhead.
